The National are gearing up to release their next album, Sleep Well Beast, on September 8. Several days before on September 5, they will take the stage at Union Transfer in Philadelphia to perform the new full-length in its entirety. The performance will be broadcast live on NPR Music (via its website and affiliate stations around the United States) as part of NPR’s “First Listen Live” program. Tickets to the show are also available now. The National recently released the music video for the song “Carin at the Liquor Store.” Their last record, Trouble Will Find Me, was issued in 2013.
